Cute(3)DSCapture is a software for capturing your (3)DS modded by loppy using Linux (or Mac)!

Cute(3)DSCapture is not a software you can use to directly record your (3)DS, but it can be used with any software capable of capturing your screen - try OBS.This little piece of software will automatically detect a connected (3)DS and capture it's screens. You can decide if you like to via your (3)DS in a single window or if you want to use one window per screen. Also, the Cute(3)DSCapture can zoom the screens. That's about all. Audio capturing for 3DS is coming up, but not finished yet.

How to use C3C/CDCUsing Cute(3)DSCapture is plain simple. Start the programm, connect your (3)DS, if you haven't already, that's it! Cute(3)DSCapture will start in single-window mode, you can change that by pressing the space bar to toggle between single-window and two-windows mode.Cute(3)DSCapture is capable of zooming the window for you. You can always resize your capture windows, but currently that won't keep the aspect ratio intact. You can use the number keys to zoom. 1 is the original size, 2 is 1.5x zoom, 3 is 2x and so on. In two-windows mode you can zoom both windows individually.

How do I get this? - InstallationDepending on your OS, there are different ways to install Cute(3)DSCapture.

FedoraTo install the repository and accept the gpg-key under Fedora 24, use the following commands:

You can give the repository any name you'd like, but I think "Cute Repository" is a good name Afterwards, still in YaST, choose "Software -> Software Management" and search for "cutedscapture" or "cute3dscapture". All you need to do is check the box next to the package, click accept and accept the installation of other, required packages.

SourcesIf your Linux distribution is not metioned above or you are using mac, you can always compile the sources yourself. Have a look at the Github pages of Cute3DSCapture and CuteDSCapture for instructions. Also, binary builds for Debian, Ubuntu and MacOS are planned and in the making.

[Old Version of this Post, pre 2016-03-01]As it seems to me, there hasn't been a linux-version of a 3DS Capture Software, I programmed one myself. (It works on mac, too!)

Cute 3DS Capture is available on GitHubIf you are not familiar with github, just go to the releases page and download the source code from there.

It's rather simple, but for me it is very usable and I hope it might be interesting for other linux users.

[UPDATE:]Cute DS Capture for the regular DS is ready! Have a look at GitHub or the the releases page.(I will give this post more structure in the future, but am to tired at the momente ^^")

Hello! I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and im new to this OS, so im not familiar with commands. I built this system specifically for 3ds play. Being that im new with this OS, could you please explain exactly how to install ?

That shouldn't be to hard. Try installing build-essential, libsfml-dev and qt5-default.

I assume you are not familiar with terminals, if this is your first time with a linux system? If you do not know how to use the terminal, open one up , type "cd " followed by the path where you extracted Cute 3DS Capture and type "qmake && make". After this, you should find a executable file called Cute3DSCapture in that folder.

Ignore everything before gcc -cI was trying to see if i could do it via other ways.But thats basically the result i get after ”qmake && make." In the extracted folder two files appear: main.o and Makefile
